The Logans

In the city directories 1940 · three people at three addresses

The directories print three people named Logan at three addresses in 1940, all on East Pender Street. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 49 other streets too, all listed on the Logan name's own page.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Harry Logan at 923 East Pender Street. W Logan is listed at 2427 East Pender Street in 1940; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark). The 1940 name section lists William Logan there as the householder, a carpenter at Dixon & Murray.

W Logan is listed at 3162 East Pender Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists William Logan there as the householder, a pressman at News-Herald.

Today

3162 East Pender (1993) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 923 East Pender and 2427 East Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

Sources

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under L. Want a name removed? Tell us.
